*****************
What you expect from this class? Here is a breakdown of how each week will be structured.
Further down in the class syllabus section, you can see specifics on the topic and content of each lesson.

Each week, we'll work with the Spanish language in various ways, so you get a well-rounded understanding of the language. 

This structure is based on the practice in the Vistas 6th Edition textbook (not affiliated with me, and not a requirement for this course.) 

The structure for each week will look something like this (with some wiggle room for swapping days):

Class #1: Vocabulary Introduction and Reading Practice. In the first class of each week, I'll present students with new vocabulary and sentence or grammar structures that we'll be using that week. We'll practice with the vocabulary reading some Spanish as a group in class, so kids can see the words in natural context. I'll also assign level-appropriate reading homework.

Class #2: Listening and Speaking Practice. For this class, students will work together to ask and answer questions regarding the target vocabulary for the week in Spanish. *Please note that this will require students to actively participate and speak in class.*

Class #3: Games and Review. In our final class for each week, we'll play specially designed review games that help students recycle the vocabulary that they've studied and worked with throughout the week with me. (I design the games in Nearpod, see PARENTAL GUIDANCE section below.)

Sometimes, there will be a QUIZ to help students further review.

FAQS

1) Can I/my child get official school credit for this course?

That depends completely on your school or district. Outschool doesn't officially confer school credit for its courses, but you can reach out to your school district directly to find out what qualifies for school credit. I can also design any type of course completion certificate that you need, customized with whatever wording you need, to help you.

2) If my child isn't quite in the right age range for this class, can he/she still sign up?

YES! The ages on my class listings are a general guideline, and also required by Outschool when I list a new class. If you have a younger (or older) learner who you think would be a good fit for a class, then they are welcome to join us in whatever class you think is best. For example, I offer classes for younger kids and for teens. Sometimes, parents want their 11 or 12-year-old in a teens class. Fine by me! You know your child better than I do. If they would be more comfortable in a class that isn't exactly written to match their age group, no problem at all.

3) Can I get a refund if I decide to withdraw my child?

Outschool has many different refund policies, depending on the type of class you've signed up for, and the payment style you choose. Teachers on Outschool are also able to (sometimes) choose a general type of refund policy for their classes. Just because one teacher offers a very flexible refund policy, doesn't mean all will.

I ask that you please take your purchase seriously when enrolling your child in my classes, and consider that asking for a refund directly impacts a small business of just one person. Please remember that you are not enrolling with a corporation or a big business. Most teachers on Outschool are self-employed, sole proprietors and depend on the income from our classes. 

Of course, extenuating circumstances come up. We're human and have crazy lives, after all! To read very specific details on my personal refund policy, please scroll down to the PARENTAL GUIDANCE section.

4) Do you offer any discounts?

Yep! I offer seasonal discounts and coupons sometimes, and I always offer discounts for the following:
-buy one, get one 50% off (upfront payments only, not weekly payments)
-get $100 off any full curriculum/year-long course I offer (upfront payments only)

***Must message me personally and mention these discounts. Honestly, I like to see that people have taken the time to read my class description.***

5) Can I get the vocabulary lists, homework, and any other printables in advance?

Absolutely. Sometimes parents only have access to a printer briefly, and I get it. Just message me and I'll send you the materials in advance. 
Disclaimer: I may design new homework and activities as the course progresses. I am always making new resources for my students, so you may occasionally get something new to print out. 

6) Do you offer 1-on-1 classes?

I sure do! Please check my profile to sign up for private Spanish tutoring.


7) I don't see a time on your schedule that works for me. Is there anything you can do?

The times listed on my individual class listings aren't necessarily the only times I am open to teach. If you are interested in a specific class, but you don't see a time that works for you listed, please message me directly and I'll do my best to set something up for you. 

My wife also offers a video-course version of this class. Search for:

8) My child is just starting to learn Spanish. Will they feel comfortable in this class, since you won't speak much English?

This is actually an ADVANTAGE for your kids, because they'll have to use Spanish to communicate with me. I will make myself understood with written English on screen (where needed), pictures, and miming.

I make it clear to my students that I may not understand them if they speak to me quickly in English. The first class or two might feel a bit odd as they get used to it, but kids adjust quickly and get used to it.

You'd be surprised how fast kids adjust! And while you might feel nervous about it at first, the fact that kids must use Spanish with me gets them speaking Spanish very, very quickly. Give it a try!
